Chapter 267

Before incorporating an implant, the body must be basically fully developed, so no matter how much of a genius one is, one can only start incorporating implants and embark on the path of martial arts at the age of seventeen or eighteen.

In other words, if one can cultivate from the Embryo-Nurturing stage to the Dao Foundation stage within five or six years, one can already be considered a peerless Heaven's Pride.

And Li Fei stepped into the Dao Foundation stage after cultivating for less than a year...

This is the gold content of being the first in history!

It is hard to imagine that anyone in the future could break this record.

Watching Li Fei meditating, Li Tianyu also realized for the first time the true 'weight' of her younger brother!

She is 19 years old this year and has just broken through to the mid-stage of Qi Transformation; she doesn't dare to hope that she can become a peerless Heaven's Pride, only hoping that she can break through to the Dao Foundation stage within the next 11 years and obtain the title of Heaven's Pride.

At this time, the other students in the carriage were also calculating their own positioning in their hearts.

Among those present, there were a few who were 25-year-old peak Qi Transformation stage martial artists who had initially begun to come into contact with 'Returning to One'.

Precisely because they had already come into contact with 'Returning to One' and knew how difficult it was, they didn't dare to hope that they could become Heaven's Pride.

If they could complete 'Returning to One' and step into the Dao Foundation stage within ten years, they would already be very satisfied.

A moment later, Li Fei stopped his cultivation and opened his eyes.

He had already incorporated 【Flame Core】 and was rapidly stimulating the growth of the implant these past few days.

"Look at this."

Li Tianyu walked over and handed the newspaper in her hand to Li Fei.

Li Fei took the newspaper and browsed through the 《Discussion on Heaven's Pride》 written on it.

"Gan Jingcheng, a lay disciple of the Shangqing Sect, incorporated five types of implants."

"Ning Chuan of the Daluo Sect, incorporated four types of implants."

"Contemporary Buddhist son Ming Qi, incorporated five types of implants."

Li Fei focused his attention on these three peerless Heaven's Pride.

Without using the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, the difficulty of defeating these people with his main body's combat power was still quite high.

After all, these three all came from top-tier martial arts sects; in terms of inheritance and mastery of profound martial arts, they were only higher, not lower, than Li Fei!

"I wonder which grade these people are in?"

Li Fei muttered.

As successors to top-tier martial arts sects, the martial arts foundations they cultivated were definitely also top-tier. Therefore, in theory, every type of implant they incorporated had the possibility of triggering a core-level extraordinary ability.

Although even if not a single core-level extraordinary ability was triggered, a 5th-grade Dao Foundation stage martial artist still had the opportunity to impact the realm of a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

But every time a core-level extraordinary ability was triggered, what was enhanced was not just combat power, but also the degree of fusion between the implant and the body.

The deeper the fusion, the greater the chance of finally constructing a martial arts foundation and breaking through the realm.

In addition, the deep fusion between the implant and oneself would also stimulate the martial artist's heart-will power, allowing their own Qi and blood and force to combine better, thereby cultivating Dao Force.

Therefore, martial artists who truly aspired to climb high in martial arts would try every possible way to trigger as many core-level extraordinary abilities as possible.

Since these people from the Daluo Sect, Shangqing Sect, and Pudu Temple were peerless Heaven's Pride, they presumably wouldn't rush to break through the realm without solidifying their foundations.

So Li Fei felt that these three should at least have 6th-grade combat power!

And his main body, on the surface, only had 3rd-grade combat power.

Thinking of this, Li Fei quickly closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

《Discussion on Heaven's Pride》 quickly became a hit across the country!

Not only because the title of 'peerless Heaven's Pride' was eye-catching, but also because 《Discussion on Heaven's Pride》 was the first article in recent years to publicly discuss the realms of martial artists.

Before this, the general public had always had a half-understood knowledge of the martial arts world.

When Li Fei was studying in the Zhige Department of middle school, the teacher said, "You'll know when you get into university."

Even for students in the Zhige Department, it was like this, so ordinary people had even fewer channels to understand the martial arts world.

That was why the content written in 《Discussion on Heaven's Pride》 was so eye-catching and attracted widespread attention.

Only now did the vast majority of people finally know that there were realms like the Qi Transformation stage and Dao Foundation stage in the martial arts world.

Only now did they know that being able to cultivate to the Dao Foundation stage was already very remarkable.

At the same time, the names of the eight peerless Heaven's Pride also appeared on the streets and alleys, among which Li Fei's name was the one mentioned the most.

There was no help for it; compared to the other seven peerless Heaven's Pride, he was simply too conspicuous!

A few months ago, the name 'Green-Faced Ghost King' 'made a name for itself in the capital', and later resounded throughout the entire martial arts world, causing discussions among many powerful figures.

Now, with the popularity of 《Discussion on Heaven's Pride》, the name of Li Fei's main body was even better, truly achieving the meaning of resounding throughout the world!

On September 14th, when Li Fei and the others arrived at the provincial capital of Cang Province, they heard another explosive piece of news:

This Martial Arts Exchange Tournament would be broadcast live on television nationwide!

The Great Lan Dynasty had only introduced television sets from Western countries in recent years.

Looking at the whole country, the number of families that could afford a television was very small.

So the number of people who could ultimately watch this live broadcast was probably less than 0.1% of the national population.

But this was the first martial arts competition in the history of the Great Lan Dynasty to be broadcast live on television!

So no matter how many people ultimately watched it, this was an event worthy of being recorded in history!

After learning this news, the group of participating students who had just gotten off the train all became excited and felt honored.

Li Fei was thoughtful.

From the heavy promotion in the early stages to 《Discussion on Heaven's Pride》, and now to the live television broadcast.

It was obvious that the imperial court was intentionally building momentum.

It was just unclear what they were seeking?

Li Fei's group soon arrived at Tianqu University.

Like Wu'an University, Tianqu University also occupied a vast area.

When entering the school gate, students specifically responsible for reception came forward to negotiate.

One of the students bowed to everyone very respectfully:

"May I ask which one is student Li Fei? Which one is student Wang Fengqing?"

Li Fei and Wang Fengqing were both stunned for a moment.

"I am Li Fei."

"I am Wang Fengqing."

The two walked out of the crowd.

The student from Tianqu University bowed to them again and said very politely:

"It's like this, our senior Yuwen Donghao is hosting a 'Peerless Heaven's Pride Banquet' tonight and invites all the peerless Heaven's Pride to attend; this is the invitation."

As he spoke, he took out two invitations and handed them to Li Fei and Wang Fengqing respectively.

Li Fei took the invitation and glanced at it, his expression strange.

"May I ask who this senior Yuwen Donghao is?"

Li Fei asked.

"Senior Yuwen Donghao is also a participant in this tournament and is a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse."

The student from Tianqu University explained with a slight embarrassment.

He was a Dao Foundation stage martial artist under 25, but his name didn't appear in 《Discussion on Heaven's Pride》, which meant he had only broken through to the Dao Foundation stage after the age of 23.

Li Fei immediately guessed the purpose of this Yuwen Donghao; hosting such a 'Peerless Heaven's Pride Banquet' was probably to gain fame and make himself equal in name to the other few peerless Heaven's Pride.

This made Li Fei immediately lose interest.

"Sorry, the journey was exhausting, and the tournament starts tomorrow, so I want to get a good rest..."

"Senior Yuwen Donghao's father is our Tianqu University's Vice Principal, Master Yuwen Xinzhang!"

Seeing that Li Fei intended to refuse, the Tianqu University student in front of him hurriedly said an important piece of information.

"Oh, please apologize to Senior Yuwen Donghao for me; I won't be going to this banquet tonight."

After hearing what the other party said, Li Fei didn't hesitate for even a second and continued to decline politely.

"This..."

The Tianqu University student looked embarrassed and turned to look at Wang Fengqing.

"Sorry, I'm the same as Junior Li Fei."

Wang Fengqing said calmly.

She didn't even bother to think of a reason and directly said "same here."

"."

The Tianqu University student turned and left in embarrassment.

Next, Li Fei and the others were led to a building, and everyone was arranged a separate room.

Li Fei had already eaten dinner early on the train, so after entering the room, he locked the door and continued his cultivation.

He cultivated until late at night before Li Fei finished today's cultivation of 【Flame Core】, which had already reached the limit of its growth, and he had to wait at least ten hours before he could continue stimulating it.

After completing the cultivation of 【Flame Core】, Li Fei did not stop.

He took an elixir to 'awaken' the 【Phantom Leaf】 that had fallen into a deep sleep state, and then he began the cultivation of 【Phantom Leaf】.

On the bed, Li Fei sat cross-legged and performed the Mengyan Sect's meditation method 'Green Wood Facing Heaven', combining it with medicine to stimulate the 【Phantom Leaf】 implant.

At a certain moment, the environment of Li Fei's meditation suddenly changed.

He arrived in a thick fog again!

"Hmm?"

Having had the experience once, Li Fei quickly reacted.

"Am I being subjected to a dream-entry technique by someone again?"

"People from the Daluo Sect have also arrived at Tianqu University; which True Person from the Daluo Sect is leading the team and casting spells on me in secret?"

"But wouldn't that be too obvious?"

Li Fei fell into deep thought.

"The box is empty!"

"The box is empty!"

At this moment, this voice came from the fog again, repeating the same words over and over.

Li Fei did not perform the 'Red Voice Fire Vajra Phase' to break this dream like last time; he tried to walk towards the depths of the fog.

If the person casting the dream-entry technique on him really wanted to tell him something, they should at least let him receive more information.

Li Fei walked in the fog for a while, but the surrounding environment didn't change at all, and that voice kept ringing out, repeating the same content.

After thinking for a while, a green leaf-shaped pattern suddenly lit up between Li Fei's eyebrows.

Ever since he had experienced a dream-entry technique once, he had specifically practiced a spell.

This spell was specifically aimed at dreams and required reaching the Spirit Transformation stage to perform.

Li Fei formed seals with his hands, and a powerful virtual thought surged out from the green leaf pattern between his eyebrows.

The next second, a strong wind was generated out of thin air and began to frantically sweep away the surrounding fog!

Soon, the fog was completely cleared, and the scene in front of Li Fei changed accordingly:

He arrived in a main hall, looked up, and saw a painting hanging in the center of the hall:

Where to seek longevity

Boom—

The next second, the dream shattered.

Li Fei woke up from the dream.

Seeking monthly votes.
